Kylie Cosmetics (Kylie Jenner‘s makeup brand, for anyone who has LITERALLY been living under a rock, bc come on) must rake in the dollars. Like rake them the fuck in – what started as simply lip kits off the back of Kylie’s “natural, makeup made” pout from back in 2014 (lol, until she admitted to lip fillers) is now a multi-product monster of a brand, and Kylie’d be raking in the dollarydoos for suuuure.
So with that in mind – Kylie bb, why the fuck have you priced your new brush collection at… $479AUD?

The Silver Series collection in fairness is sold individually – you can buy whichever brushes you need. But the prices even for the individual brushes are slightly unhinged. Take the Large Powder Brush, which clocks in at $64. Here are some other large powder brushes you can get for a fraction of that price. Zoeva’s powder brush is $28. It’s got a 4.5 star rating on Sephora.
Mecca’s Mecca Max range’ll give you one for $35.
Here’s the thing – it will cost you Kylie Jenner prices to pick up a full-on luxury brand powder brush. MAC, Hourglass and other high-end makeup brands are around the same prices as Kylie Cosmetics. But the issue is – do we consider Kylie Cosmetics on par with these kinds of brands?
People on Twitter don’t think so. Kylie tweeted yesterday about the pricey tools, and was met with some fire opposition.

If we need proof on why she can’t compare; didn’t she have to send out lip brushes to everyone who bought her lip kits at one point because the quality sucked???
